GOM Audio 2.4.5.7 for Android
Transform your Android device into a powerful music center with GOM Audio, the feature-rich audio player designed for both everyday listeners and dedicated audiophiles.
GOM Audio turns an Android phone into a proper music player.
While stock Android handles MP3 well enough, the moment you want lossless FLAC playback, a precise equalizer, or a sleep timer that doesn't drain the battery, the default player falls short. GOM Audio picks up where it stops.
Format Support - What You Can Actually Play
GOM Audio handles MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, AAC, WMA, and OPUS without any additional installs.
For users with a lossless library, FLAC playback is clean and handled natively - no separate codec, no configuration.
If you're still deciding whether to keep files as FLAC or MP3, the FLAC vs MP3 guide covers the real-world trade-offs in detail.
FLAC files play on Android with no quality degradation, though they do consume more storage.
For the FLAC codec itself on Windows - useful if you're managing a lossless library on your PC before syncing to Android - the download is separate and free.
If you need to convert audio files before moving them to your phone, the Online Audio Converter at Convertico handles FLAC, MP3, OGG, AAC, and WAV conversions in the browser with no install required.
The 10-Band Equalizer
The built-in EQ is GOM Audio's clearest advantage over basic Android players.
Ten adjustable bands cover the full frequency range from deep bass up through the high end, with preset profiles for genres like rock, classical, and jazz alongside a manual mode for custom configurations.
The result is noticeably different from the flat output of stock players, especially through in-ear monitors or over-ear headphones.
AIMP for Android offers an 18-band EQ if you need finer control, while VLC for Android includes a 10-band EQ as well but is better known as a video player than an audio-focused app.
GOM Audio's advantage is a cleaner interface built exclusively around music playback.
Sleep Timer and Overnight Listening
The sleep timer stops playback after a set duration - useful for falling asleep to music or podcasts without leaving the app running all night.
Unlike a manual pause, the timer shuts down audio output cleanly, preventing the app from looping or draining battery through the early hours.
A wake-up alarm function is also included, letting GOM Audio double as a morning audio alarm.
Playlist Management and Cloud Access
Playlists are created with drag-and-drop ordering. GOM Audio also supports cloud library access, letting you switch between devices without re-syncing local files manually.
For users who stream lossless audio, SpotiFLAC Mobile is worth looking at alongside GOM Audio as a complementary tool - one for local files, one for streaming.
GOM Audio for Android vs the Desktop Version
If you use GOM Audio for Windows, the Android version follows the same design philosophy: clean layout, solid format support, and a focus on audio quality over feature bloat. The desktop version adds a wider codec range and is the better choice for managing large collections at a desk.
The Android APK is optimised for on-the-go listening with the same EQ engine carried across.
For users who also need video playback on Android, MX Player covers the video side completely and handles most audio formats too - though its music library management is weaker than GOM Audio's.
Download Requirements
GOM Audio for Android requires Android 7.0 or higher and approximately 37MB of storage.
No root access is needed and no account registration is required to use the app. The download is free with no in-app purchases.
